Arizona rancher says border crisis is 'still outrageous' as illegal migrant crossings surge
...
A fifth-generation Arizona rancher said an influx of illegal migrants crossing his land in recent years has increased his fear that terrorists are successfully sneaking into America.
...
The ongoing crisis at the southern border is breaking records as illegal migrant entries skyrocket, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. The first week of December saw a record-setting 18,900 migrant apprehensions in Arizona's Tucson Sector alone, the section's Chief Border Patrol Agent John Modlin said.
By comparison, that's about 2,000 more encounters than all of December 2021 for that sector, according to CBP data. Daily encounters also reached a new record-high across the southern border earlier this month, with more than 12,000 migrants flooding in on Dec. 4.
"It's a national security issue," Chilton said. "I'm very concerned that terrorists are coming across the border."
...
CBP encountered 169 people on the FBI terror watch lists between ports of entry at the southern border in fiscal 2023, data show. That total exceeded not only the previous year's record-setting 98 encounters, but the last six fiscal years combined.
"When are they going to strike, and are they walking through my ranch?" Chilton said.
The border rancher previously told Fox News his wife, while home alone, opened the door to MS-13 members carrying guns.
...
He said cartels fight for control of the trails through his ranch, and he's occasionally seen coyotes smuggling migrants across his land.
"We have cartel scouts on our mountains," he said. They "really have control of everything."
The fifth-generation rancher is frightened that cartels flood certain areas with migrants to divert Border Patrol agents, creating undermanned sections where smugglers can bring in terrorists and drugs.

“Yeah, you’re right, but the real answer is to just let BORTAC or National Guard Spec Ops take them all out.”
Except they are never going to be allowed to become proactive and actually do it.
I’m amazed it hasn’t already

A Biden policy.
btt
These cowboys should watch some good Westerns form posses and go after them.
Hang their carcasses for other gang members to see. It's what THEY do.
Very few have the skill to make hits beyond around 300 yards.
Somewhere around there skill passes the rifle as the main factor in hitting the target.
And no one carries a bench setup into the boonies to go sniping. More skill few have.
The Cartels run these illegal aliens and get paid by Brandon junta to do it.
There is only one way to stop this. Secure the border. And I mean secure it.
The THEFT of the governorship of Arizona away from Kari Lake into the clueless hands of Katie Hobbs now becomes more clear..
It’s a National Security threat that has to be stopped, NOW!!
Hey, I just pinged you but I see you beat me here.
I saw evidence of illegals at Wally World up here yesterday.
Sad to say you are correct about the %. I have talked to large amount of people during the holidays and sad to say no one has clue.
Ask Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly how that worked out for him.
The AZ rancher, Jim Chilton, is on FAUX right now.
Thanks for the ping!
The Cartels have broken into their WET DREAM of a ‘Customer Base,’ UNFETTERED!
Thanks, Democrats! Thanks, FECKLESS, SPINELESS, COMPLICIT republicans! *SPIT*
Make ALL the money you CAN off of this because you CAN’T take it with you! *SPIT*
And I’m not sure you understand the concept of ‘Eternity.’
Enjoy it! You’ve MORE than EARNED it!
Yep.
It SHOULD be stopped, however, this evil regime is opening up the gates, even wider.
